Jellyfish: Special Education

Student Example

Coming up with art lessons geared for the EC or Special Education children has turned out to be harder than I first thought.  I want to keep the children engaged in the material, while still learning and having fun.  Coloring pages get boring.

In this project the kids were to make their own jellyfish. The kids had a blast! The ribbons gave their jellyfish motion as they played with their art.

I first showed the students a small video on jellyfish (here).  While the children worked I left images of jellyfish up on the ActivBoard (here).



Materials
Thin paper plates (1/2 per child)
Crayons
Glue
Thin paper strips
Ribbon
Scissors


I would have liked to only use ribbon, and avoided the paper strips but available materials didn't provide for that.
